Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
KopyKat: I REALLY need to learn how to do those fonts. They just don't like me. *pout* Oh well. I'm a bit pressed for time at this moment, so I'm keeping this note short (and I'm lazy). Let me just say a little more. The ending to this chapter (last sentence) is really corny & stupid, I had to end it some way & I was braindead. Also, I would suggest that you stop reading if you don't like made-up characters. The two friends that I have for Inuyasha are clearly & 100% coming from my squishy & empty brain. *squish**squish* One girl, one boy. Don't worry, the girl will not become Inuyasha's lover because I believe that he belongs with Kagome. Neither of them are long lost relatives either. I hate fics/roleplays with that scenario. *shudder* Well, so much for my SHORT note. Continue reading if that is what you wish, just remember, I warned you.

They arrive back at their home, having suffered a few more acts of violence.
Mitsuya sets the sack full of groceries down near the dining area, sighing deeply, "Well, we managed to get back alive now didn't we?"
Inuyasha nods slowly while scanning her numerous injuries with his eyes. Because he was a half-demon, his injuries healed quickly, so he only had a few while she had many...
She looks at him & smiles warmly, "You came out of it pretty well, just a few bruises & scrapes."
He frowns a bit & nods again, "Yeah, but only 'cause you protected me."
He wrinkles his nose at the heavy smell of her blood in the air, "You're bleeding pretty bad, the scent of your blood is strong..."
She tries to sit down, but collapses about halfway down due to the painful injuries in her hips & legs.
Inuyasha gasps & runs to her aid, "Mom!"
She breathes heavily before giving another pained smile, "I'm fine, just a bit sore, that's all."
He whimpers a bit before sitting down next to her & lies his head on her arm lightly, gripping her sleeve, "I'm sorry..."
Mitsuya grips his hand gently, being mindful of his claws, "It's not your fault, I'm sorry that you're not able to live like your brother. You would be happier & healthier."
Inuyasha narrows his eyes slightly at the mention of Sesshoumaru before his expression softens again, "I don't want to be like Sesshoumaru, he's too prissy."
She laughs at his comment about his dog demon half-brother, "You shouldn't talk so badly about him, but I guess hunting & playing roughly is too much in your blood. I just want you to be happy 'tis all & not have to worry about anyone hurting you."
He wraps his small arms around her arm & squeezes slightly, "I'm happy right here, with you. I just want us to be left alone."
She nods before looking down at him, smiling still, "Why don't you go outside & play for awhile?"
He nods, stands up, and gives her a quick hug before running outside.
She struggles to her feet & stares of after her son, "I'm so blessed to have a son like Inuyasha. He's still patient with the people that try to hurt him."
She looks up at the ceiling, "Oh Inutashio, I wish that you could see your son now, you would be so proud. I also wish that you were still alive to protect him & offer him support."

Inuyasha runs through the forest near his home, making a mental note not to stray too far. Last time he did, a spider demon had attacked him. After fighting against the demon for a bit, he had managed to escape with minor injuries. If it wasn't for his unnatural speed, he could've died right then & there. But then again, he was only three when that happened & had gotten quite a bit stronger.
A scream causes him to abruptly stop, "What?"
His ears twitch slightly as he tries to pick up any more sounds & he sniffs the air.
He narrows his eyes, his canine ears flicking back against his head, "A demon..."
He hears the scream again & decides that he should go check it out. The hanyou runs in the direction of the disturbance, his heart racing.
Inuyasha emerges from the trees into a clearing & sees two children, roughly his age, cowering in front of a lizard demon. A boy, possibly the older of the two, stands in front of the small girl, waving a long stick at the demon.
The boy trembles terribly, "S-stay back!"
The demon hisses & lunges at the two, it's claws outstretched. The boy closes his eyes tightly, preparing for the worst. When nothing came, he opened his eyes to see a silver-haired boy around his age clinging to the demon's neck, scratching it with his claws.
Inuyasha jumps off, but lunges at the lizard again as soon as his feet touched the ground.
He pulls a clawed hand back, "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"
He slashes the air with such force that the demon is ripped to shreds. Inuyasha blinks & looks at his claws, not expecting his attack to totally decimate his opponent. He must be getting stronger!
He looks at the children, "Hey, are you guys alright?"
The boy glares at him, hugging the girl to him, "Why are you here *demon*? Have you come to kill us?"
Inuyasha's ears droop & he casts his eyes downward, hurt, "No, I just didn't want that demon to kill you..."
When nothing else is said, the hanyou sighs & turns to walk away, "Sorry..."
The little girl watches as he walks away for a moment before pushing away from the boy, "Wait!"
Inuyasha stops & turns around to see the girl running towards him, "Eh?"
The boy panics, "Mia! Stay away from him! He's a demon!"
She stops in front of Inuyasha & smiles, "Thank you for saving us from that demon. You must be one of the good demons, what's your name?"
Inuyasha smiles, "My name's Inuyasha, and I take it your name's Mia?"
She nods ecstatically, still smiling, "Yes! Wanna play Inu?"
His eyes widen at the somewhat foreign concept, "...play...? You actually want me to play with you?"
She frowns a bit, "Unless you don't want to..."
He grins, "No, I want to! No one's ever played with me before 'cept my mother! I've never had any friends because everyone's too afraid to come near me."
She smiles brightly & takes his hand, "Well, I guess we better get things straight with my brother. I think he's still a tad nervous with you being a demon & all."
He holds her hand gently, making sure that his claws don't hurt her, "I'm only a half-demon."
She blinks, confused, "Then what else are you half of?"
For some odd reason, he found her naïveté hilarious & laughs.
She narrows her eyes a bit, "What's so funny? I just asked a question."
He quiets down to a chuckle, "Sorry, I just thought that all of the villagers knew what a half-demon was. I'm half-demon & half-human."
Mia blinks, "Oh so that's what a half-demon is. I'm used to hearing the word 'half-breed'."
His ears twitch a bit at hearing the familiar word, the word that was uttered with such bitterness most of his life, the word that stung, "Yeah, it means the same thing pretty much."
She notices the sadness in his eyes & frowns, "Sorry, that words must be bad."
Her brother runs up to them, looking at Inuyasha, "So you're not gonna hurt my sis & I?"
Inuyasha shakes his head, "Nope, I'm not bad like everyone thinks I am."
He looks down, "...can I play with you two...?"
The boy considers this & Mia glares at him, "Hiro, he saved us & he needs some friends 'cause he doesn't have any. Let him play with us!"
Hiro sighs & nods, "Ok, but we can't tell mom & dad. They would skin us alive if they found out that we were playing with a demon."
She grins & looks at Inuyasha, "Yay! We can play together now!"
Mia did strike Inuyasha as a weird girl, but he was going to go with it. He finally had some people to play with. As for Hiro, Inuyasha could tell that he was still a bit edgy around him, but hopefully he wouldn't be later on. Sure, his friends were a bit rough around the edges *now*, but they will start smoothening out after they spend some time with him. It'll all taste good in the end, like chicken!
